The help button/tab that comes setup on EE2.0 instal right next to tools is there anyway to disable it.  The url it points to changes based on the page you are on.  Some modules it points to there support page.  Others it points to a dead page.  Many EE pages point to EE documentation.  The problem with all of this is that the client using the site will not find any of this helpful and it may confuse them.  Is there anyway to change it so it always points to my support site or to disable it alltogether?

Hi, PhilBrienesse -

The Help Tab can’t be removed at this time.  What you can do is change the URL to the user guide in Admin > General Configuration. It will still try to get you to the right page of the docs, but you could probably set up a redirect of some sort to wherever you want it to go.

Good idea on the redirect.  I had noticed if you change the destination it was still adding on the page specific stuff.  The redirect will take care of that.  Still doesn’t solve the problem of specific modules that have their own help pages but since it is only one at the moment i will see if i can easily alter the module to change the destination. Thanks for the suggestion.

PhilBrienesse,

To quickly hide it open up /themes/cp_themes/default/_shared/menu/item.php

And change this

<li class="{li_class}"><a href="http://{url}" class="{link_class}">{title}</a></li>

to this

<li class="{li_class} {title}"><a href="http://{url}" class="{link_class}">{title}</a></li>

Now open up /themes/cp_themes/default/css/global.css and add this style

.Help{
    display:none;
}

Making changes to a cp theme has been revised and is much easier with EE2.1.2 which was released yesterday
